Crappy morning writing, for sure. BUT! I did get a chapter finished before I had to snatch up that free time that I was, suddenly and by some freaking miracle, granted to escape the house.
See, I don’t go anywhere but to the day job because of my grams. My husband and I have been in the car together, alone, exactly four times since last October. My daughter and I, probably about the same. So when she comes over and volunteers to go with me to Borders when I go drop off the water bill, I snatch it up. So… not much writing today.
My child never ceases to amaze me. We’re wandering around Borders and I’m about to pick up some anthology and she puts one right in front of me. “What about this one?”
I was floored. She had just so randomly picked up an anthology called Evolved, edited by Nancy Kilpatrick. I’d read a snip from Evolved II in the last few weeks and am DYING to have EII. Now I get the chance to read EI beforehand.
So. Stoked.
Rob Thurman and P.N. Elrod wound up the other two purchases. All three were the very last copies of ANY title by these authors in the store. I was not going to abandon them. Now I can’t wait for True Blood to go off so I can start reading.
At the moment, I need a nap. It’s scary out there. I need a kitten to protect me…..
*lookin to see if the husband is reading…..*
OH YEAH! You DEFINITELY need a feline to protect you from the outside world. Add in the fact that they make good nap companions…AK purrs me to sleep more times than not and it’s a win-win situation.
That said…AK also LOVES to curl up on my belly as I am trying to read while lying down. Kinda interferes with my ability to see the book!
Kal used to sleep in my floppy box when she was tiny. The one I kept all my writing discs in at the time. She got mad when floppies went away because she didn’t have a coffin anymore.
